How to solve "Invalid Service Account" Issue while installing win service?

Question

I am using Msbuild Extension Pack to install windows service remotely. Every time i try to deploy my application i get this wired error:

Install Service failed with code: 'StatusInvalidServiceAccount'

The account in remote server is set to log on as a service even though it doesn't solve the problem.

Note: This is a windows service created using Visual Studio 2010. I don't want Powershell to install this because of network issue in my environment.

Any help regarding the topic is really appriciated.

You need to use domain account with while deploying services to remote machine and the account need to be set to login as a service.

Under <user>

and under <Remote User>

What ever use you put this user needs to be an administrator in both machines.
